Lyrics

Did that real ly just (C)hap pen?

Have I (Fm)ac tual ly un der (C)stood?

This weird (Ab)quirk I’ve tried to sup (C)press or hide is a (Fm)tal ent that could (Ab)help me meet the (Dbmaj9)Wiz ard

if I make (Cm7)good!

So I’ll make (C)good...

When I (Dm)meet the (G7sus)Wiz ard

Once I (Dm)prove my (G7sus)worth,

and then I (C)meet the (Am7)Wiz ard

What I’ve (Dm7)wait ed for since— since birth!

And with (C)all his (Dm)Wiz ard (G7sus)wis dom, (G)by my (C)looks, he won’t be (Em)blind ed...

Do you (Bbmaj7)think the Wiz ard is (C)dumb?

Or like (Bbmaj7)Munch kins, so small (G)mind ed?

No!

He’ll (Dm7)say to me: “I see who (C)you tru ly are: A (Dm7)girl on whom I can re (Gsus)ly!”

(G)And (C)that’s (Dm7)how (C)we’ll be (Fsus)gin, the (F)Wiz ard and (C)I...

Once I’m (Dm7)with the (G7sus)Wiz ard,

my whole (Dm7)life will (G7sus)change.

’Cause once you’re (C)with the (Am7)Wiz ard,

(Dm7)no one thinks you’re (G7sus)strange.

No (C)fa ther is (Dm7)not proud (G7sus)of you;

(G)no (C)sis ter (C)acts a (Em)shamed.

And (Bbmaj7)all of Oz has to (C)love you, when by the (Bbmaj7)Wiz ard you’re ac (G7sus)claimed.

And this (Dm7)gift or this curse

(C)I have in side,

(Dm7)May be at last I’ll know (G7sus)why,

(G)as (C)we (Dm7)work (C)hand in (Fsus)hand, the (F)Wiz ard and (Amaj7)I!

And (Dmaj7)one day, he’ll say to me: (C#m11)“El pha ba,

a (Dmaj7)girl who is so su (C#m11)pe ri or—

(Fmaj7)Should n’t a girl who’s so (Em7)good in side

have a match ing ex (Em7)te ri or?

And since (Bb)folks here to an ab (Bb)surd de gree seem (Bb)fix at ed on your ver di gris, Would (Db)it be all right by (C)you,

if (Bbm7)I de green i (C)fy you?”

And (Dm7)though of course that’s not im (C)por tant to me,

(Dm7)“All right, why not?” I’ll re (Gsus)ply.

(G)Oh, (C)what (Dm7)a (C)pair we’ll (Fsus)be The (F)Wiz ard and (Am7)I!

(C)What (Dm7)a (C)pair we’ll (F)be, The Wiz ard and...

Un lim it ed,

My fu ture is un (Bbmaj7)lim (Csus)it (F)ed...

And I’ve just had a (Am7)vi sion al most like a proph e (Gdim)cy—— I know, (C9sus)it sounds tru ly cra zy, and (C9sus)true, the vi sion’s ha zy, (Ab)but I (Abmaj7)swear, some (Ab6)day there’ll (Dbmaj7)be a (E)cel e bra tion through out Oz that’s (Bb)all to do

with (A7)me!

And I’ll (Bb)stand there (Bbsus)with the (Bbsus)Wiz ard,

feel ing (Bb)things I’ve (Bbsus)nev er (Bbsus)felt,

And though I’d nev er (Gm7)show it,

I’ll be so (Cm7)hap py, (Bb)I could (F)melt!

And (Cm7)so it will be for the (Bb)rest of my life, and I’ll (Cm7)want noth ing else till I (Fsus)die!

Held (Bb)in (Cm7)such (Bb)high es (Ebsus)teem,

when peo ple (C)see (Dm7)me, (C)they will (Fsus)scream

for half of (C)Oz (Dm7)’s (C)fav ’rite (Fm(maj7))team:

The Wiz ard and (C)I!
